My son and his friends formed a garage band.
December 11th, 2007
My son plays the guitar. He and his friends formed a garage band. They practice Sunday through Thursday, and they play gigs on Friday and Saturday nights. Since there are five band members, I assumed they would practice at a different band member’s house each evening. I thought there would only be one night each week that I would not be able to hear myself think. However, that is not the case. Three of the boys live in apartments, so they cannot practice at their places. The other boy has an ailing grandmother who lives with him, so the band cannot practice there. That leaves our house. Even though the boys practice in the garage, our whole house shakes when they are practicing. I try to go shopping or to the library when they are practicing. Otherwise, I would go crazy. They aren’t bad musicians. They’re just loud.
